Under the above caption a late issue of
the Chicago Tribune that the
Santa Fe railway has been granted a right
of way through that wicked portion of
the city by the lake nominated for the
magic city of the plains. 1t was in retail
iation for this debasing use of the word
Cheyenne that the appellation Chicago
was attached to a locality of the wertern
section of this city. There are fully 5000
residents in the disreputable quarter of
Chicago, and all will be compelled to To-

CrIticIsIng the Jury.

To the Editor OF The Leader.
MANvILLE, Wyo., Aug. 22.-One of
the witnesses in the murder case of o. B.
Selden, Mr.. James Amspoker. after being
called the second time to appear at Lusk
before the coroner's jury, was very much
provoked with the jury for allowing some
of the citizens of Lusk-Mr. Baker, Mr..
Lusk, the two Mr.. Collins, the bankers,
and others he did not recognjze-the
privilege of remaining IN the room while
he and others were giving their evidence.
He says no one but the deceased's brother
was permitted to remain in the room at
Manville, and should not have been at
Lusk, and also saw some of the Jury leave
the room and talk with Mr.. Lusk and
Mr.. Baker while the court was in session,
and heard them mention the names of
Selden & Shelter, and says if the verdict
had been changed after the second calling
he would have made complaint and re-
questcd a new jury. These facts are
known to and spoken of by more that Mr..
Amspoker, Respectfully,

Russell rhorp visited the county jail
yesterday for the purpose of viewing Pat
%terson, the Wyoming fugitive captured in
Montana by Ben Smalley. The stage
line owner gazed at the murderer a mo-
ment, uttered one of his characteristic
grunts and said: Patterson, l wish you
would return that saddle you stole from
me at Rawhide Buttes." The assassinator
of McLehone omniously looked at Mr..
Thorp and answered with his stereotyped:

What Do They Meant

The Union Pacific railway company is
purchasing and trading for a large num-
Der of city lots near the Cheyenne &
Northern in the west end. This fact be-
ing known, the question ~propounded
above naturally arises. 1t is asserted by
those in a position to know, that it is the
intention of the Union Pacific to obtain
possession of sufficient property in the
west end to make it extremely difficult for
the Cheyenne & Burlington to secure an
outlet from the city in that direction.

Phil Watson, who is held as an Access
sorry to the murder of Charles Gum at
Lusk, last winter, is well acquainted with
Parker, the h~ighwayman, as is also Nc
Gov and several other prisoners confined
in the county Jail. Watson is confined in
one Of the steel cells above the cage.
Yesterday morning he shouted to the
deputy sheriff: ''Say, Mr.. Smalley, l I'M
derstand Parker is in a cell below; is it
SOP well, that's what they call this
fellow. Do you know him?" responded
the official. II should say | did If the
prisoner looks like a d-n fool, il is
Parker to a dead moral certainty. Let
me take a lookat him, will you?' Watson
was brought down and Immediately recog-
nized the candidate from Nebraska as
the man whom he had formerly known as
Chas. Parker, bold, bad cowboy.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES: I:

The Center Church An Apology.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In few remarks we made respecting SER
vices in Center church last Sabbath we took
occasion to say that the bass solo was Gilt
tie too long" One of your correspondents
takes umbrage and says that 1.-The choir is res.
duced in numbers and that the members of
the church are perfectly satisfied with the
choir. We accept the explanation and most
respectfully and humbly apologize. True,
indeed, we did, perhaps inadvertously, with
out malice, aforethought, say that it was a
slittle too long" 1t required probably less
physical exertion to sing long solo than
short one, even in August weather; such is
your correspondents reasoning. We see now
our mistake; we should have said that the
bass solo was great treat, his voice was
clear, rich and mellow, every word
ations filed the house and charmed
the listeners. We do not say that we think
30, but that is of no consequence if it pleases
your correspondent; he has our apology and
we hope he is satisfied. Moreover, we wish
it distinctly understood that our controversy
Is not with the members of Center church,
but with your correspondent or those who
enter into the discussion. We claim the
right to form our opinions and express them
in respectful manner, as we did; we live
under a free government. If churches are
opposed to all criticism from outsiders let it
be so understood and we will accept the
situation; but SO long as the JOURNAL AND
COURIER publishes our communications and
wishes us to continue them we shall disre-
gard all petty grumblings, looking only to
the spread of Christianity and what we
think is for the interest and welfare of the
community in which we live.

CaIffornia,s olive King.


Celoni Elwood Cooper, the largest olive
grower and manufacturer of sweet oil in
the world, has been at the Lick for the
past day or two. Before he left yesterday
on the Queen for his big orchard, near
Santa Barbara, he gave reporter some in
teresting points about the business. "San-
ia Barbara is the great olive country of
the United States and of the world" said
the prosperous grower. "But they can be
raised all the way from San Luis Obispo
to San Diego. I hear of few trees in
Georgia, but there is nowhere else in
America that they are produced except in
California. I have one hundred acres now
Of olive trees, eighty; Of which are bearing.
I began in rather a small way in 1878, and
have planted from one thousand to three
thousand trees each winter ever since. 1t
takes the trees from four to six or seven
years to bear. expect to make from my
present crop from twenty to twenty-five
thousand bottles of oil. Yes, there is the
biggest sort of a market right here at home
for every bottle that can be made. Cali
fornia can't begin to produce the tenth part
that is required. The present crop is very
good. The trees are in fine condition and
are bearing well. I employ thirty men
steadily, and a good deal of the time
have from sixty to seventy. I am engaged
largely in raising nuts too. What kind?
English walnuts and almonds They are
not SO profitable as the olives, still they go
very we'll with them. This year I shall
raise at least ten carloads of English wall
nuts and four or five of almonds"

An English Workhouse Mystery.
rErnnn the I.ondnn TaIeoranh


A man who for the past two years has been
an inmate of the Ethan (KenD workhouse,
under the assumed name of t'Wilton Low
ard, /" has just died suddenly from heart dis
ease. He was evidently by birth and educa-
tion gentleman, and his conduct while in
the workhouse had been most exemplary
He spoke Hindustani, French and German
with fuency, and was equally we'll acquaint-
ed with Greek and Latin. His own account
of himself was that he was of good family,
and that at one time he was in possession of
a considerable fortune. For many years he
served in India as an officer in the East India
eompany's service and retired with a pen
sion. Later on in life, having lost his for
tune through injudicious investments in
mines, he commuted his pension and was
equally unfortunate in specializing with the
amount he received At Constantinople he
was seized with paral ysis, which incapacita-
ted him from work, and coming home he
stopped at several watering places until he
became destitute at Folkestone. He seems
to have exhausted his funds and he had no
other resource but to obtain order for the
workhouse from the relieving officer. At
that time he was elegantly dressed His
manners and bearing were always courteous
and digni6ed. He refused money gifts when
offered him and had great horror of dying
pauper. He carefully concealed his name,
his reason being, he said, that he expected to
come into a small estate, and he should not
like it to be known that he had been an in-
mate of workhouse. At his death his linen
was found to be marked with an earfs coro-
net and he has left a will but clue to his
identity.

ENGLISH PENSIONS.

The people of England have become some-
what tired of paying hereditary pensions, and
the public feeling receives recognition in
report just made by select committee of the
English House of Commons. The committee
declares that all such grants should be limit
ed to the persons actually rendering service
intended to be rewarded by such grants, and
that such rewards should be, wholly or in
the main part, betrayed by the generation
benefited by the services so recognized.
The committee holds that it is unjust that
future generations should be burdened
with payments to persons who have had no
share in the original services, and that all
existing perpetual pensions, allowances and
payments and all hereditary offices should
be abolished.
Some of the pensions paid by the English
tired. For instance, the Viscount ST.
Vincent draws annually from the English
treasury So, 500 in consequence of grant
made to an ancestor of his by Charles II.
more than two hundred years ago. The
heirs and descendants of William Penn have
until recently drawn $50, 900 year from the
treasury, but this grant has been commuted
by the payment to them of 1885, 900. And
there are other cases equally absurd and
wearying.
The committee has also something to say
about combinations. It believes that the
rate of commutation usually adopted, of
twenty-seyen years purchase, is too high,
and that the government ought to insist upon
a more economical basis of settlement, par
ticularly in those cases where the original
grant was given for no service or for merely
nominal service.
This is sensible and encouraging. The
English people have had heavy burdens of
the kind considered by the committee. tits

GarIbaldi's Home at Caprera.

-N----o'A
The chief entrance leads directly into the
kitchen. A few bare rooms with whitewashed
walls ioin it, and in some of them beds have
been put up for Garibaldi's family. In the
garden grow only red flowers; it looks as if a
bloody dew had fallen from the sky. + y
Through the yard the rooms are reached which
Garibaldi inhabited to the last. In the little
ante-room portraits of Nullo and the two
Cairolis who fell at the Villa Gloria and
steel engraving of the Prince of Wales hang on
the walls All have different frames; the
glass on some of them is broken. There is
also miserable little oil painting representing
Italia thrusting her dagger into the heart of
the Pope. In the small library the few
books of the man who had not read much
stand on two old riokety bookcases. Some
of the books are turned upside down, and
there is no attempt made at arranging
them. Most of the books are English;
among them Cobden's works, and many
English translation of italian books. A
volume of Petosi's poems, translated into
English, attracts attention by its worn bind
ing, and next to it stands-curious and char
acteristic of the hero of bloody battles with
the child-like heart-f.Paul ct Virginie." I"
Many volume on agriculture and ola Rou
mamie Equonomiquen show that Garibaldi
was also a student of economic questions.
On the shelf, covered with dust and cobwebs,
lie the printed parliamentary papers. From
the library you enter the sanctum of the
house, the room in which, on June 2, 1882,
Garibaldi died at the age of seventy-fve.
Near the window stands the poor camp bed
as it stood at the moment of his death.
From it he could see his beloved sea and the
coast of Corsica. The parish of Livorne has
put a simple bronze railing round the bed.
Wreaths lie on tho coverlet. One of them
bears the inscription, 'fThe italian Free
Masons to their Grand Master.' On a round
table in the midst of the room are three
books-Dante's "Divine Comedy" an album
with the photographs of the Thousand" and
Michaud's "Crusades," with Dore's illustra-
tions. The walls are covered with many
wreaths and pictures, among them the por-
traits of Garibaldi's mother and his youngest
children.
An uneven path leads through the high
broom to the place which Garibaldi himself
had selected for the cremation of his body.
On two great granite blocks he had built the
funeral pile which should consume his NOR
tai remains The view from this place is
magnificent over the rough mountains of
Sardinia the little cliffs and islands which,
yellow as gold, rise out of the dark blue sea
and over the Corsican hills. To be burned

hardships of labor and the greed and tyranny
of capital The early ''growler' is an inevita-
BILE feature of this morning hour of idleness.
Formerly, when o'clock was about as early
an hour as these men could conveniently
reach the scenes of their labor, they were OBJ
liged to go to Work at once without this recre-
alton and stimulation. Now they are able
to fill up and get rid of good share Of their

begun. Not infrequently they Ioiter around
from o'clock, when they quit work, until
o'clock, their former hour for starting home,

or two and continuing the discussion sus-
pended in the morning. The eight hour rule
is working beautifully for the building labor
ers at least. They do less work, save less
wages and get more beer.
